(This story has nothing to do with race, the main character just happens to be dark-skinned)

500 years ago, a man and a woman thought it would be beneficial to everyone if those with many talents and those with few talents would be separated to make each group stronger, more balanced, and live in greater peace. They agreed that only the Elite, the ones with many strengths, should hold positions in government and they should watch over the Lessers, the ones with fewer strengths. For about 125 years, it was successful.

The system began to grow corrupt, and now the Lessers now live in a large hole half a mile below sea level in the middle of the Elites' city under a large glass dome. They are now exploited in countless ways and their home is often referred to as a 'Zoo' by the Elite. 

Zoe Taylor Bolter was born Elite, but was torn from her father when she failed the test that determines her fate and she was thrown into the Zoo.
